Chapter 30

Diane D Gets Into Trouble By Her Family

The following day, Harvey and Evette enter the organization hallway. They look down the hallway and see Diane D slowly come out one of the rooms with a look of pain on her face as she holds and rubs the back of her head and neck. They see Diane D turn and slowly walk down the other end of the hallway. What’s wrong with Diane? Evette asks. Is she okay? She looks like she’s in pain or something.

She does? Harvey says.

Let’s call her and find out.

Okay. Harvey calls out towards Diane D and shouts, Hey Diane! Diane D does not respond. She continues to slowly walk down the other end of the hallway as she holds and rubs the back of her head and neck. Harvey and Evette look at each other. They look back at Diane D as Harvey says, Let’s go see what’s wrong with her. Harvey and Evette hurry down the hallway.

Harvey and Evette hurry towards Diane D as Evette calls out, Hey Diane! Diane D stops walking and continues to hold the back of her head and neck. Harvey and Evette approach behind Diane D and stop. Hey Diane, Evette says. Diane D slowly turns around towards Harvey and Evette. Harvey and Evette become sort of shocked and startled as they see a look of anger on Diane D’s face. Wow Diane, Evette says. Are you okay? Diane D angrily looks at Harvey.

Harvey and Evette puzzled look at Diane D as Harvey asks, What’s wrong Diane? Diane D angrily stares at Harvey. Harvey and Evette become nervous. Harvey then asks, Is everything okay Diane? Diane D does not say a word. She just glares at Harvey. Evette looks at Harvey. She then looks back at Diane D. Harvey asks again, Diane what’s wrong? Diane D still does not say a word. She continues to glare at Harvey. Suddenly Diane D slowly removes her hand from off the back of her head and neck and slowly brings her arm down as she continues to glare at Harvey. Harvey then says, Diane, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong? Diane D still does not respond. She continues to glare at Harvey. Harvey then says, Well if you don’t want to talk about it Diane, I guess we won’t bother you anymore. Harvey and Evette nervously back away from Diane D.

Yeah Diane, Evette says. See you. Harvey and Evette turn around and run the opposite way. Diane D continues to glare at Harvey as Harvey and Evette run down the hall.

Harvey and Evette reach the other end of the hallway and stop. They turn around and look back at Diane D. They see Diane D slowly turn away then see her continue to walk down the other end of the hallway, holding and rubbing the back of her head and neck again. Harvey and Evette look on at Diane D as she turns and disappears into one of the rooms down the hall. Harvey and Evette look at each other as Harvey asks, Damn what is her problem?

I don’t know, Evette says, but she sure gave you a hard look.

She sure did. Harvey looks to the side and says, There goes Nicolas and Mickey. Evette turns to look. She sees Nicolas and Mickey at a third hallway. Harvey then says, Maybe they can tell us what’s wrong with Diane. Harvey starts to call out, Hey Nicolas! Mickey!

Nicolas and Mickey turn towards Harvey and Evette.

Harvey and Evette hurry down the hallway towards Nicolas and Mickey.

Harvey and Evette enter the third hallway and approach Nicolas and Mickey as Harvey says, Hey guys, what’s up?

What‘s up Harvey? Nicolas says.

Can we ask y’all something?

Sure what is it?

We saw Diane holding and rubbing the back of her head and neck just now. She was holding and rubbing the back of her head and neck like she‘s in pain or something. When we approached her, we asked her what‘s wrong. Then she slowly turned around and gave me a hard glare. I asked her again what’s wrong. She didn’t answer. She just angrily stared at me.

We asked her is she okay and is everything alright, Evette says. She still never answered. She just continued to stare at Harvey real hard, so we backed away from her and left her alone. What‘s wrong with her?

Yeah, what happened to her?

I’ll tell you what happened to Diane, Nicolas says. Our parents and grandparents had a big argument with Diane last night.

They did?

Oh yeah. Our parents and grandparents got so angry with Diane because they heard from you and Jonathan’s girlfriend Candis that Diane was about to drag Mike and Mitch all the way out to Newark airport just to meet up with that Jonathan guy yesterday.

What? Your parents and grandparents got angry with Diane last night?

Hell yeah. My mom and grandma kept arguing and fussing with Diane all night accusing Diane of trying to drag Mike and Mitch all the way out to Newark airport. Diane argued and fussed back at them and told them she wasn’t trying to do that and they all wound up in a heated argument. They were all at war with each other last night, then it got physical.

It got physical?

Yeah.

What happened?

While Diane and my mom were arguing, my mom was so angry that she smacked Diane hard upside the back of her head and neck.

What? Evette and Harvey say.

Mary smacked Diane hard upside the back of her head and neck? Evette asks.

Yeah, Mickey says. That‘s why Diane‘s head and neck are in pain right now.

Harvey and Evette look at each other, then back at Nicolas and Mickey as Harvey says, My God, no wonder why Diane looked at me so hard. She’s probably blaming me for all of it. She was looking at me like she wanted to wring my neck! I’m sorry I didn’t mean to cause anything, when Vivian and I told your parents and grandparents that we overheard Diane was trying to get a cab ride to Newark Airport. It’s just that your parents and grandparents were looking all over the park for her, Mike and Mitch. We thought they ought to know what’s going on.

You and Vivian might have overheard Diane trying to get a cab ride to Newark Airport, Nicolas says, but she told our parents and grandparents something different last night. She told them she never had any intentions of trying to get to Newark Airport that she never tried to get a cab ride to Newark Airport at all. Y’all are saying one thing and she’s saying another.

Well what about when Jonathan‘s girlfriend Candis called the office to complain about the text message she saw from Jonathan on his cousin Benny’s phone for Diane and claimed that Diane is gonna meet Jonathan at Newark airport.

Oh Jonathan’s girlfriend only speculated that Diane might try to meet Jonathan at Newark Airport, she don’t know for sure, she has no proof that Diane was gonna actually try to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport, she has no proof at all. Because of her accusations, my family members were at war with each other last night causing my mom to hit Diane.

Did anybody try to stop your mom from hitting Diane?

Of course the rest of us tried to stop my mom from hitting Diane, but my mom was too quick. She hit Diane before we even realized and got the chance to stop her.

I’m sorry that this whole incident happened with your family Nicolas. If Diane is denying ever trying to get to Newark Airport, she had Mike and Mitch with her when Vivian and I saw her trying to get a cab ride to Newark Airport. She had Mike and Mitch with her the whole entire time. Didn’t your parents and grandparents question Mike or Mitch whether or not Diane actually tried to get a cab ride to Newark Airport? Didn’t your family ask Mike and Mitch anything about it?

No our parents and grandparents didn’t ask Mike or Mitch anything about it because they don’t want Mike and Mitch involved in it.

They don’t?

No, they don’t want Mike and Mitch involved in this situation at all. They say that this is an adult matter and an adult situation. They say Mike and Mitch are under age, they’re minors. Our parents and grandparents said as long as no one got hurt or killed, they want Mike and Mitch completely out of this. Nicolas turns to Mickey and says, Come on Mickey, that other woman who called to complain about Diane should be on her way here now.

What? Evette says. Another woman called to complain about Diane?

Yeah.

What woman?

Some woman name Brenda.

A woman name Brenda?

She’s coming here? Harvey asks.

Yeah, Nicolas says. She should be here any minute now. We got to go meet her at the front. Nicolas and Mickey turn and walk away as Harvey and Evette turn and follow them.

A couple hours later, Mary and Margarita are walking up the sidewalk outside the organization. Alex and Stephanie approach them. Mary and Margarita stop as Alex says, Hey Mary, Margarita.

Hey Alex, Margarita says.

What’s going on with Mike and Mitch? Alex asks. Barry and Tomas told us the other two boys’ families dropped the charges.

Yes Alex, I'm afraid they did.

Why? Stephanie asks. We asked Barry and Tomas why the other two boys’ families dropped the charges, but they never told us why? Why did the other two boys’ families dropped the charges against Mike and Mitch?

Their families kept getting pressure from Mike and Mitch’s relatives to drop the charges.

Again? Why do Mike and Mitch’s relatives keep putting pressure on other families to drop charges against them? How would they feel if the tables were turned?

Mike and Mitch’s relatives would always turn things around and state things like ‘Juan and Nelson were the ones who provoked Mike and Mitch in the first place‘. Their relatives and lawyers would threaten countersuits and lawsuits against the other families then the other families wind up backing down.

My goodness. I feel for all those other boys’ and their families. How are Juan and Nelson doing?

They’re still in bad shape.

They are? Sorry to hear about that.

Alex then asks, So since Juan’s and Nelson’s families are not pressing any charges, what’s gonna happen with Mike and Mitch?

The police released them back into our custody, Margarita says.

You mean those two little furors are back into your family’s custody? Stephanie asks.

Yeah.

Where are Mike and Mitch now? Alex asks.

We made them stay home for now, Mary says.

Boy, Stephanie says. I don’t know how you two and your family deal with them. I really don’t.

Neither do I, Margarita says. Let’s go inside. Margarita and Mary turn and walk up the sidewalk as Alex and Stephanie walk and follow them.

Harvey and Evette suddenly approach Margarita and Mary. Margarita and Mary stop as Harvey says, Margarita, Mary, one of the women that want to make a complaint against Diane just arrived. She’s in the building right now.

Oh yeah? Margarita says.

Yeah. Her name is Brenda. She wants to make a complaint that Diane has been hanging around with her husband.

What! Margarita and Mary say.

She wants to make a complaint that Diane has been hanging around with her husband? Mary asks.

Yeah, Harvey says. She’s accusing Diane of meeting her husband at his job last week.

Really? Margarita asks.

Yeah. Barry, Tomas and Nicolas questioned Diane about it, but Diane keeps denying it.

Plus three other women called the office earlier complaining about Diane being with their husbands and boyfriends, Evette says.

Three other women called?! Mary asks.

Yeah. One of them complained that her husband was spotted coming out an X-rated video shop with Diane and her cousin Dana a couple of months ago.

What! Mary and Margarita shout.

One of them complained that her husband was spotted coming out an X-rated video shop with Diane and Dana?! Mary shouts.

Yeah, Evette says.

You know this has got to stop! Margarita shouts, and this has got to stop right now! Where is Diane?!

The rest of your family got her and that woman Brenda in the lobby, Harvey says. Mary and Margarita turn and quickly walk up the sidewalk as Harvey, Evette, Alex and Stephanie follow them.

Mary and Margarita go inside the gate and head towards the building. They reach the door, open it then head into the building.

Margarita and Mary enter the lobby of the organization as Harvey, Evette, Alex and Stephanie come in behind them. They suddenly hear a loud commotion coming from around the corner. Mary and Margarita quickly look at each other then hurry around the corner into the hallway as Alex, Stephanie, Harvey and Evette hurry behind them.

Margarita, Mary, Alex, Stephanie, Harvey and Evette enter the hallway. They see Diane D and a young black woman, Brenda, fussing at each other as Barry, Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Mickey hold an angry Diane D back and some staff members hold Brenda back as Brenda shouts to Diane D, But that’s my husband you were hanging with! That’s my husband!

Margarita and Mary look at the woman. They then look at Diane D and quickly approach Diane D as Margarita asks, Diane what the hell is going on?!

That woman is here to complain about Diane! Barry shouts.

She’s complaining that Diane has been hanging around with her husband, Tonio says.

And when she complained, Diane tried to attack her, Tomas says.

What! Mary and Margarita say.

Attack her? Margarita says. She turns to Diane D and asks, Is that true Diane? You tried to attack this woman?

Yeah she tried to attack the woman Margarita! Tomas shouts. That’s why we’re holding her back!

Why Diane?

Grandma, this woman is coming here making complaints about me! Diane D shouts. I don’t know who her husband is! I have my own husband!

Oh don’t try to play innocent in front of your family! Brenda shouts. You know you have been with my husband! I overheard you two talking on the telephone!

Well it wasn’t me on the phone so stop accusing me alright!

Sure, as soon as you leave my husband alone!

Why don’t you leave me alone! As a matter of fact, leave, get out! I don’t know who the hell let you in here!

Norman approaches Mary and Margarita and says, Excuse me Mary, Margarita?

What is it Norman? Mary asks.

I’m sorry to bother you, but there’s a phone call in the office about Diane.

Another phone call about Diane? Margarita asks.

Yeah.

Margarita and Mary look at Diane D. Margarita and Mary turn back to Norman as Mary asks, Who is it Norman?

Some woman name Samantha.

A woman name Samantha? Margarita asks.

Yeah.

What does she want? Barry asks.

She said she wants to file a complaint about Diane.

She too? Nicolas says.

Another woman wants to file a complaint about Diane? Barry asks. We already had three different women calling the office earlier! Is it any of the same women who called earlier?

I don’t think so, Norman says. I think it’s a different one this time.

A fourth one? Margarita says. Now what is she trying to accuse Diane of?

She’s accusing Diane of meeting her boyfriend at a hotel last week!

What?! everybody says.

Why the hell are these broads trying to accuse me of being with their men?! Diane D shouts. I don’t know any of their husbands or boyfriends!

Diane, Barry says, all these women are claiming that when they and their husbands or boyfriends come see our shows and performances, their husbands or boyfriends become fans or male groupies of yours and when their husbands or boyfriends secretly go to the side and try to hit on you, you get week and fall for them and wind up being with them!

What! I don’t fall for any of these male groupies Dad!

Oh no? You haven’t fall for that Jonathan guy?! He started out as one of your male groupies too you know, and then you tried to marry the guy!

I don’t remember trying to marry Jonathan Dad, so as far as I’m concerned, it never happened!

Okay that’s enough everybody! Margarita shouts. I need everyone to cool out now! I’m going to go to the telephone to speak to this woman and straighten this situation out right now! Everyone stay calm, I‘ll be right back! Margarita turns and hurries away.

Margarita enters the office. She goes to the telephone, picks up the receiver and speaks into it. Hello? Margarita says. Hello?….. Hello? Margarita puzzled looks at the telephone receiver. She then hangs up the phone. She turns and heads back out to the hallway.

Margarita walks through the hallway. She approaches Diane D and says, There’s no one on the phone Diane. Whoever it was, they’re gone now.

Patrick approaches Mary and Margarita and says, I’m sorry for interrupting, but there’s a phone call in the other office.

Another phone call? Margarita says.

Yeah. The person said they tried to call the office but the answering service put them on hold, so they called the other number that’s in the other office.

Well who is it? Mary asks.

A woman named Candis.

Candis?! Margarita, Mary and Barry say.

That’s Jonathan’s girlfriend again! Margarita says.

What does she want? Barry asks.

She says she still wants to file a complaint about Diane trying to meet up with her boyfriend Jonathan at Newark Airport yesterday, Patrick says.

What! everyone says.

She is the same one the staff said called the office yesterday complaining about Diane! Margarita says.

And now she’s calling here about me again? Diane D says. I’ll take care of her. Diane D jerks herself away from her family’s grip. She walks away as she holds the back of her head and neck again.

Where are you going Diane?! Barry asks.

Diane D turns to Barry and says, I’m going to take the phone call Dad!

No you’re not! Just stay here, we’ll take care of the phone call!

Dad the phone call is about me! I might as well take the call! I want talk to the woman and try to reason with her!

Reason with her?

Yeah.

Oh alright then. But just reason with her and nothing else!

You got it Dad! Diane D turns from her father. She walks down the hallway continuing to hold the back of her head and neck as everyone looks on at her. Diane D turns the corner and leaves out of everyone’s sight.

Diane D suddenly rushes down the other hallway. She heads towards one of the rooms. She rushes into the room and closes the door behind herself.

Chapter 31

Diane D Secretly Threatens Lover’s Girlfriend

Diane D is inside the office. She turns around towards the door then locks it. She turns back around towards the room and angrily goes to the desk as she gently holds and rubs the back of her head and neck again. She angrily picks up the telephone receiver. She speaks into the receiver and says, Hello, who is this?

Hello, my name is Candis, Candis says from the other end as she speaks into her cell phone. I’m calling this organization again because I still want to make a complaint about Diane D trying to meet up with my boyfriend Jonathan at Newark Airport yesterday! I want to speak to Miss Margarita or Miss Mary about it! I also want to speak to Diane D herself about it! Let me speak to Diane D right now!

Speaking!

Is this Diane D?!

Yeah it’s me! Listen miss, let me tell you something! I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about! I never tried to meet up with anybody at Newark Airport!

Yes you did! I saw Jonathan’s text message that was sent to his cousin Benny to give to you, so you can meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before his flight left for Jamaica yesterday!

I didn’t meet up with anybody at Newark Airport yesterday!

You were probably planning to!

No I wasn’t! Look Miss, I am tired of you and all the other women calling here with this nonsense and bullshit! Don’t ever call here again you got that?! Stop calling this organization bugging my family about me!

I’ll stop calling that organization bugging your family about you if you stay the hell away from Jonathan!

Why should I stay away from Jonathan? He‘s just a friend!

Well he’s my man!

Well he might be your man, but you know what? If I really want to take Jonathan away from you, I can.

What! Why you! You! You stay the hell away from Jonathan you hear me?! You just stay away from him, he’s my fiance! We’re getting married!

What? You and Jonathan are getting married?

That‘s right, we‘re getting married!

Well if Jonathan is going to marry you, I think he’s making a big mistake.

You think he’s making a big mistake if he marries me?

Yes!

Why do you think that?

Because I think I’m the woman he really needs.

What! Why you! You! How can you say that to me?! How dare you say that to me!

How dare you call this organization complaining to my family about me! How dare you call here yesterday complaining about me trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport?! You had my entire family upset with me last night! You had my mom, and my grandma constantly on my ass, fussing with me all night! You even caused my mom to hit me!

Oh I did? I caused your mommy to hit you?

Yes you did! My mom got so angry at me that she hit me right in the back of my head and neck! I’m still in pain from that because of you!

Oh really?

Really!

Well too bad, it‘s good for you! You deserve it! I’m glad your mom hit you and I hope she hits you again! I should keep calling there complaining about you just so that your mom and your grandma can stay on your ass and just so your mom can whack you upside your head again!

What! You hope my mom whack me upside my head again?!

That’s right!

Listen, I’m warning you, don’t ever call here again! Don’t bother my family again! Leave my family alone!

No I won’t leave your family alone because you won‘t leave Jonathan alone! I won’t stop calling your family! You didn’t have a right to say what you just said to me! You didn’t have the right at all! You have your own husband! I should call there again and let him know about this! I should come meet you face to face so I can straighten you out!

I’m going to straighten you out!

Oh yeah? Well we can straighten each other out right now!

Good, because I’m going to straighten your ass out real good!

Oh yeah?

Yeah! Since you’re the one who’s calling here and caused my mom to hit me, and you think that I deserve it and you’re glad about it, and you hope my mom whack me upside my head again, I am going to give you a taste of your own medicine!

Give me a taste of my own medicine?! What do you mean?!

I am going to whack you upside your head!

What?! You’re going to whack me upside my head?!

That’s right! I am going to hit you!

You’re going to hit me?

Yeah! I am going to beat your ass for calling this organization complaining about me, getting me into trouble with my family and causing my mom to hit me!

You’re going to beat my ass? How are you going to do that? You don’t know me! You don’t know how I look like! You don’t even know where I am right now and you don’t even know where I live! If you think you can find me and know where I am right now, then bring it!

Oh I am going to bring it alright, because I am going to come right over to where you live right now and beat your ass in the parking lot right behind your apartment building!

Come right over to where I live and beat my ass in the parking lot behind my apartment building? Wait a minute! How do you know I live in an apartment building? You’ve never seen or met me before! I could be living in a house! How do you know I live in a building?! How do you know my apartment building has a parking lot behind it? Not all apartment buildings have parking lots behind them! How would you know which person in the area is going to be me anyway, you don’t know how I look like! How do you even know I’m at home right now?

Because I know!

You do?! How many floors does my apartment building have?

Your apartment building has six floors!

Six floors?! Oh my God you already know of me! You already know who I am! You probably already know how I look like!

And most likely you already know how I look like, so therefore you won‘t have any problem spotting me when I arrive there ready to beat your ass in the parking lot behind your apartment building! Diane D angrily slams the phone down. She turns and rushes to the back door. She unlocks the door, opens it and hurries out into the hallway quietly closing the door behind herself.

Diane D hurries down the hallway towards another room and goes into it.

Diane D enters a storage room where there are boys’ sporting outfits and boys’ sport uniforms hanging. There are baseball bats, baseball gloves, baseball uniforms and other sport gears on the side. Diane D quickly goes and grabs one of the baseball bats! She turns around to the door and leaves out of the storage room with the baseball bat quietly closing the door behind herself.

Diane D looks down the hallway towards the corner that goes towards the lobby. She turns the other way and hurries down the other end of the hallway to the back exit door carrying the baseball bat. She opens the back exit door and hurries out of it slamming the door behind herself!

Diane D‘s family is still in the other hallway around the corner. They puzzled look at each other as Nicolas says, Did I just hear the back door slam?

It sure sounded like it, Barry says. Let’s go see what’s going on. Barry, Nicolas and the rest of Diane D’s family and everyone else turn and hurry down the hallway. Brenda tries to follow but Patrick, Norman and Harvey hold her back as Harvey says, I’m sorry you can’t go back there. We cannot allowed outsiders of the organization to go past this point. Brenda sadly looks at Harvey as she folds her arms. She, Harvey, Patrick and Norman turn their heads and look down the hallway at Diane D’s family as Diane D’s family turn around the corner into another hallway disappearing out of sight.

Diane D’s family rush down the other hallway towards the office door. They approach the office door and try to open it. It is locked, they cannot get in. Barry bangs on the door and shouts, Diane! Diane! Diane! Barry turns to his family and says, She’s not answering. I think she might have snuck out the back door. Come on! Barry turns and hurries down the hall as his family, Alex and Stephanie hurry behind him.

Diane D is in the parking lot outside of a dark blue car with the back door open as she angrily throws the baseball bat into the back seat of the car. She slams the back seat door then opens the driver’s door and jumps into the driver’s seat! She shuts the driver’s door then turns on the engine! She backs the car up then pulls off speeding and screeching her car towards the parking lot exit!

Barry and the rest of his family rush into the parking lot. They hurry after Diane D’s car trying to go after her car as they shout, Diane! Where are you going?

Diane! Margarita shouts.

Diane! Mary shouts. Diane D speeds and screeches her car into the street as Mary and the rest of her family run to follow her car!

Diane! Mary shouts.

Diane! Tomas shouts.

Diane D’s car turns, speeds and screeches down the street as other cars come to a quick stop and screech to avoid hitting it.

Diane’s family stop running and look on stunned as Tomas shouts, Where the hell is she going?!

I don’t know! Barry shouts. She was just on the phone with Jonathan’s girlfriend Candis, then we heard the back door slamming! Now she’s speeding out of here like a demon out of hell! I think she’s going to meet up with this Candis!

Yeah Dad, I think so too, Nicolas says. I think something is about to go down between those two! I think we should try to follow her Dad!

Yeah come on let’s go! Barry and the rest of his family turn and hurry to two passenger vans. Barry gets into the driver’s seat of one of the vans as Mary, Margarita, Mickey and the Dianettes get into the same van. Nicolas gets into the driver’s seat of another van as Tomas and other relatives get into the same van. They quickly start up the engines. They speed the vans towards the parking lot exit. They then speed the vans out of the parking lot then turn into the street.

Way across town, Candis hysterically rushes down the first floor hallway of her apartment building with tears in her eyes as she holds a large empty flower vase in her hand.

Candis enters the lobby with the empty flower vase as she heads towards the front door. A medium built black man around his mid 40’s and a shorter chubby black woman with short hair around her mid 40’s puzzled look at Candis as Candis is about to hysterically rush past them. Candis? the man says. Are you alright Candis? Candis continues to rush past the man and woman ignoring them. The man quickly turns around and grabs Candis. He stops Candis and quickly turns her around towards him and says, Candis are you alright?

Let go of me, Candis cries. Let me go!

What’s wrong?

What’s the matter! the woman asks.

It’s Diane D! Candis shouts.

Diane D? the man and woman say.

Yes!

What are you talking about Diane D? the man says. You mean Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization?

Yes, her!

Well what about her?

What happened? the woman asks.

She threatened to come over here and beat me up! Candis shouts.

What! the man and woman say.

Diane D threatened to come over here and beat me up!

Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization threatened to come over here and beat you up? the man asks.

Yes!

Wait a minute, slow down Candis! What do you mean Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization threatened to come here and beat you up? Why would she want to come beat you up anyway? What happened?

We had an argument over the telephone a little while ago about my boyfriend Jonathan! I called Diane D’s family’s organization yesterday and spoke to a staff member! I accused Diane D of trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before Jonathan flew off to Jamaica!

You accused Diane D of trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before he flew off to Jamaica?

Yeah!

Do Diane D and Jonathan know each other?

He’s sending text messages for her!

Isn’t Jonathan the same guy Diane D disappeared with and then they were both found drugged in the woods?

I don’t know, Jonathan told me it wasn’t him!

He told you it wasn’t him?

Yes, he said it was a different guy! When I called Diane D’s family’s organization today, Diane D herself came on the phone this time and I spoke to her on the telephone! She told me to stop calling the organization bugging her family about her! She said she’s tired of me and all the other women calling there with this nonsense and told me not to ever call there again! I told Diane D I’ll stop calling that organization bugging her family about her if she stays the hell away from Jonathan! Then she told me Jonathan’s just a friend! Then I told her well he’s my man, then you know what she told me?! She told me that Jonathan might be my man, but if she really wants to take him away from me, she can!

What! the man and woman say.

She told you that? the woman asks.

Yeah she told me that! Candis cries. I told her to stay the hell away from Jonathan! I told her that he’s my fiance and that we’re getting married! She sounded shock when I told her that! Then she told me that if Jonathan is going to marry me, she thinks he’s making a big mistake! I asked her why she thinks that! She told me because she thinks she’s the woman he really needs!

What! the man and woman say.

Diane D told you that she thinks she’s the woman Jonathan really needs? the woman asks.

Yes! Candis cries. I told her how dare she say that to me! Then she told me how dare I call the organization complaining to her family about her trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport?! She said I had her entire family upset with her, causing her mom and her grandma to fuss with her all night and said I caused her mom to hit her!

Her mom hit her? the man asks.

That‘s what she said!

And she’s saying you’re the cause of it?

Yeah! I told her too bad her mom hit her, that it‘s good for her! I told her she deserve it! I told her I’m glad her mom hit her then told her I hope her mom hits her again! I told Diane D that I should keep calling there complaining about her just so that her mom and her grandma can stay on her ass and have her mom hit her again!

What! You told Diane D all that?

I sure did! Then she told me, don’t ever call there again and told me not to bother her family again and to leave her family alone! I told her ‘no I won’t leave her family alone that I won’t stop calling them‘!

What! Oh Candis, I don’t think you should have said all of that to Diane D.

Why not?! What about what she said to me?! Telling me that if she really wants to take Jonathan away from me, she can, then telling me she thinks she’s the woman Jonathan really needs! She didn’t have a right to say that! I got so angry when she said that to me, I told her that I should come meet her face to face so I can straighten her out! Then she told me she’s going to straighten me out!

What? You mean she challenged you?

Yeah she challenged me! Then I told her well we can straighten each other out right now! Then she told me good, because she’s going to straighten me out real good! She told me since I’m the one who caused her mom to hit her and that I think she deserve it and since I’m glad about it, she said she’s going to give me a taste of my own medicine and said she’s going to hit me!

What! the man and woman say.

Diane D said she’s going to hit you! the man asks. She threatened you?

Yeah she threatened me! Candis shouts. She told me she’s going to beat my ass for calling the organization, getting her family upset with her and causing her mom to hit her!

My god.

I asked her how is she going to do that, she doesn’t know me! I told her she doesn’t know how I look like! I told her she doesn’t know where I am right now and she doesn’t know where I live! I told her if she thinks she can find me and know where I am right now then bring it! Then she told me she’s going to bring it, because she’s going to come right over to where I live right now and beat my ass in the parking lot right behind my apartment building!

What! the man and woman say.

Diane D threatened to come right over to where you live and beat your ass in the parking lot right behind this apartment building? the man asks.

Yeah! Candis shouts. She‘s blaming me for her mom hitting her and now she’s after me for it! That’s why she’s on her way over here!

Wait a minute Candis! Has Diane D ever seen or met you before?

No, not that I know of! I’ve seen her before when Jonathan and I go to see her family’s shows and concerts and we see her performing on stage with the Dianettes, but I’ve never met her personally and she’s never seen me or met me personally either!

Well if Diane D has never seen you or met you before and she‘s coming over here to assault you, then how do she know where you live?

I don’t know! I didn‘t tell her!

If she‘s never seen or met you before, how would she even know which person in this area is going to be you? Especially if she doesn’t know how you look like?

I don’t know, I have no idea of that either!

How did Diane D even know you were at home right now Candis, you could have called her family‘s organization from anywhere! Did you call her family’s organization from your house phone?

No, I called there through my cell phone!

"But you can call through your cell phone from anywhere! How did Diane D knew you were calling through your cell phone from your apartment? It sounds like Diane D already knows of you Candis! It sounds like Diane D already knows who you are! Most likely, she already knows how you look like! It sounds like Diane D already knew about you way before your
